Three choices:-

Do you mean NFS share to another unix server? You can browse /etc/exports to see what you are sharing. A mount statement on the client would be something like:-
Code:
```
mount -t nfs hostname:/shared/directory /local/mountpoint
```
Do you mean a Samba share to mount with a Windows client?
If you fire up a browser like this, then you may get a management GUI where you can explore:-
Code:
```
http://hostname:901
```
You will need to put in the root password.

CAUTION - you will be able to edit the configuration very easily, so mistakes are easy.
The configuration file is likely to be similar to /opt/freeware/samba/version/etc/smb.conf
Find it and copy it away securely before you start.
.
Not sure what else you might mean.

Do any of these help? If it's the 3rd option, can you explain a little more of what you are trying to achieve please.
